Draft Scout *Calvin Johnson News

03/08/16 - WR Calvin Johnson is walking away from the NFL and into retirement at age 30.
Johnson informed the Lions on Tuesday, one day before his $24 million salary cap charge would have gone on the 2016 ledger for Detroit, he was ready to retire.
"After much prayer, thought and discussion with loved ones, I have made the difficult decision to retire from the Lions and pro football. I have played my last game of football," Johnson said in a prepared statement

12/21/15 - WR Calvin Johnson caught only one pass -- a tough grab over the middle for 19 yards -- but his biggest play of the game came after the Saints closed within 35-27 with 1:55 left. Saints P Thomas Morstead's onside kick scooted 10 yards, and Johnson scooped up the ball to protect the Lions' lead. "Calvin is doing great," QB Matthew Stafford said. "He's fighting through and playing, but they are doubling him the whole game. Every time I was getting ready to snap, No. 31 (safety Jairus Byrd) was sprinting to where he was."

12/17/15 - WR Calvin Johnson missed practice Thursday with an ankle injury, but he likely will play Monday night.
